The government here in France have just released the new Emissions / Anti-Pollution Tax supplement for 2021 and 2022 (Malus Ecologique).
At 231g/km CO2 the M3 will cost me an extra 40,000 EUR / 46,600 USD on top of the purchase price to register it for the road and receive a license plate. This makes my purchase an eye watering 157,500 EUR / 183,695 USD.
Is it really worth it ? Ecology has taken hold in the European Union and this type of vehicle has seen it's day.
What's your opinion ?

2022 sees the tax go up to 50,000 EUR.
This car has no chance even if it was a looker.
The next M3 will surely be Electric / Hybrid.

Looks like it is still a project (projet de la loi de Finances 2021/2)

but I am afraid it will be voted. This is insane and will kill the non electric/hybrid sport & luxury car market ... that being said there are still a number of EU countries where taxes for these cars are reasonnable. But for how long?
